The Potential for Small Cells Infrastructure-as-a-Service in the U.S.

Details

In late May 2015, iGR conducted a survey of IT managers in medium- and large-sized U.S.-based enterprises to understand the demand and opportunity for managed services based on enterprise small cells. The resulting study, which was sponsored by Cisco, Intel and SpiderCloud Wireless, focuses on the following small cell-based cloud-based services: Unified Communications, Mobile device management, Mobile and PBX Integration, Web Filtering, Firewall Services, Policy Services, Wi-Fi as a Service, Context/Location Services.
